| Green & Co. S report on cotton futures SAYS:
! AN absence OF orders keeps the market within
| the narrow channels of local trade, and matters
are again very stupid About the only outside
| Liverpool. and this may possibly account FOR .
to points fuller bids obtained. But even this
small advance could not be fully supported. and
! the close was slow and tame all around.
| Southern advices generally were without
| change and there was nothing in the crop ac-
counts that could be taken advantage OF by
| either bull or bear. The spot movement con
tinues fair, with more doing for export than
reported, and prices are up Lice.

| CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-Operations on the Board
of Trade were somewhat restricted to-day.
There were two reasons: first the markets are
lust now III q sort of low rut from which no
great efforts are being made to lift them sec
ond, the new rules providing severe penalties
against brokers doing business for less than the
regular commissions went into effect this morn
ing. These rules remain TO be thoroughly
tried and there is a stubborn minority with de
cided views who not only voted against the
high commission departure, but also kick
against working under them. Such members
were conspicuous more on account of talking
than trading to-day. Appearances seemed TO
Justify them to a certain extent. Messenger
boys stood idly in groups, and a few of their
shrill voices were heard calling for traders
There was a decided let-up in outside orders
and some Of the more rampant opposers of the
new rules declared that such messages as were
wired to-day were largely to close deals. IL was
easily observable that many usually busy trad
ers had turned their backs on the pit. Not
much was doing in wheat, the trade dragging
slowly most of the day. Though the feeling de-
veloped was quite firm early, later 1t became
weak under freer speculative offerings. The
early firmness was attributed to the existence
of fair export demand and TO sympathy with
the advance in corn. The market opened at
about yesterday s closing figures, declined NC
then advanced &c, again eased off, and later,
under free offerings, declined &c and closed
about &c lower than yesterday. There seemed
to be less falling off in corn orders than in other
grains, and the market ruled quite active, eX-
hibiting q firmer tone, and values ruled stronger
There was q good local demand, several proni-
nent houses buying quite freely. No outside
news of importance was received, and the mar
ket was governed TO considerable extent by
local influences. Prices opened shade easier
than Yesterdays closing, became firm r. and adj
vanced &c reacted and declined Nc, then be-
came strong and advanced with slight changes
| 7G611c ruled irregular and closed NC higher for
September and 3S61tSc higher for October and
Nav than yesterday 8 closing prices. IL was o
rather tame and uninteresting market for oats
